Protagoras gives you fast and convenient access to no fewer than six indispensable classics reference works: the magisterial lexica by Liddell-Scott-Jones and Lewis and Short, the respective intermediate and elementary versions of the above works, and two specialized works (Autenrieths Homeric Dictionary and Slaters Lexicon to Pindar). All six are included with the app free of charge, and feature powerful searching capabilities and the ability to view cited texts on the Perseus Digital Library.

- Browse any of the dictionaries painlessly by section, or search for entries directly. Search for Greek entries using the built-in Greek keyboard, Latin transliteration, or standard Beta Code.
- Viewing an entry will automatically bring up cross-referenced entries. (Note that this is not perfect yet.)
- View the text of cited passages on the Perseus Digital Library.
- Search any dictionary for words whose definition includes a specific English term.
- Bookmark entries you find yourself returning to frequently, and use the history feature to jump back to recently-viewed entries.
